The Transfiguration of Our Lord

Lord of the Mountaintop, God of dazzling clothes,Be with us when we come down from the height of worshipTo face a worldThat didn't see what we just saw in you.Show us what to do.

When demons rage though elementary schoolsLet it not be said that your disciples could not cast the devil out.When violence threatens to engulf our communitiesLet it not be said that your disciples cowered in fearOr walked on the other side of the road.When there is peril or fire or flood,Let it not be said that your disciples cleared the unwanted junk from theirgaragesAnd called it charity….

Lord of the Mountaintop experience, God of dazzling clothesShow us how to be.Change us; transfigure usSo that this world might see what we have just seen, and worship you.
